In the Garden

I was doing a bit of work in the garden today, so I thought I'd check out the progress of the small wormery I knocked up from some spare wood a few weeks ago.

Scraping just under the surface I was happy to find quite a few worms like this:

I topped it up with some unused redworms and some kitchen waste. Hopefully by Autumn I'll have a good supply of Perch bait.

The pond I put in during the summer is coming along nicely now.

A newt moved in a while ago and seems content, while a few tadpoles were acquired when they stuck to my net during a visit to Jubilee Pools earlier in the year. There are frogs aplenty too - spot the frog!

I've been toying with knocking one up. Do you keep yours indoors (shed/garage) or is it outside? Also, to start it off did you buy worms from a "worm supplier" or just from a tackle shop or garden? I've looked at a couple of advice sites but prefer to hear it from a real person!CheersDavid

Thanks for the reply Sean. In the meantime I've done a bit more research and it seems an 89/90 ltr plastic dustbin is a cheap option. Should be able to pick one up for under a tenner. Particularly if I can fit a drain tap near the bottom.Look forward to hearing your update.David
